Answer:
A
M1 change = $500M2 change = $0B
M1 change = -$340M2 change = -$180Explanation:
A. M1 includes actual liquid cash in hand as well as cash in checking deposits.
M2 includes M1 as well as savings deposits and time deposits amongst others.
M1 change = +$500
$500 went from the Savings account which was not part of M1 to M1.
M2 change = $0
The money went from Savings to Checking which are both part of M2.
B.
M1 change = -$-180 - ( 500 - 180 -160 ) = -$340
Tax of $180 went out of the supply as tax. Jane deposits the remaining cash after paying $160 for goods into the savings account which is not part of M1. That remaining cash is = 500 - 180 - 160 = $160.
M2 change = -500 + 160 + 160 = -$180
For M2, only taxes will reduce money from it because the rest goes to checking deposits and savings accounts both of which are part of M2

You won the lottery when the jackpot was $3,300,000 (annual payments of $165,000 paid for 20 years). Your choice is to take the annual payments for 20 years or take the lump sum payout today. The lottery administration uses a 4% interest rate. What is the value of the lump sum payout
Answer:
Lump sum= $2,242,403.85
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the future value of the annual payments using the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual payment
FV= {165,000*[(1.04^20) - 1]} / 0.04
FV= $4,913,382.97
Now, the lump sum is the present value of the annual payments:
PV= FV / (1 + i)^n
PV= 4,913,382.97 / (1.04^20)
PV= $2,242,403.85

Portia owns and manages a sporting apparel company. Consider the given average cost (AC), average variable cost (AVC), and marginal cost (MC) curves for track suits. All but the MC curve have been placed incorrectly. Portia knows that the minimum average cost for a track suit is $7 and the minimum of average variable cost is $5.
Required:
Draw the AC and AVC curves so that they are consistent with the marginal cost curve.
Answer:
AVC curve will be below the AC curve
Explanation:
As we know,
[tex]AC = AFC + AVC[/tex]
This means that Average cost is the sum of average fixed cost and Average variable cost. Thus it can be shown that AC curve will be above the AVC curve.
Also we know that MC curve is upward sloping.
Thus, the MC curve will cut the AVC curve first and it will be to the right of the point where the MC curve cuts the AC curve.
So the curve must look like,

Graymont Industries purchases Solvate, a chemical compound used in several of its products, from ChemMaster. ChemMaster has just increased the list price of Solvate to $6.10 per gallon. However, because Graymont purchases a high volume of Solvate, ChemMaster grants the company a 14 percent discount off the list price. Charges for shipping Solvate from ChemMaster to Graymont's factory are $130 for a shipment of twenty-five 49-gallon drums. Special storage requirements cost $0.59 per gallon.
Calculate Graymont's standard price for a gallon of Solvate. (Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 3.51)
Answer:
the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is $5,942 per gallon
Explanation:
The computation of the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is shown below:
List Price $6.1 per gallon
Less: Discount at 14% 0.854 per gallon
Charges (130 ÷ (25 × 49) 0.106 per gallon
Special Storage $0.59 per gallon
Total Cost $5.942 per gallon
Hence, the standard price for a gallon of Solvate is $5,942 per gallon
Private producers have no incentive to provide public goods because A. the government subsidy granted is usually insufficient to enable private producers to make a profit. B. production of huge quantities of public goods entails huge fixed costs.
Answer:
Private producers have no incentive to provide public goods because
B. production of huge quantities of public goods entails huge fixed costs.
Explanation:
There is rivalry in the production and consumption of private goods. This rivalry is generally described as competition. Most public goods are produced naturally or provided by the government to her citizens. Since they are made available for the welfare of the people, there is usually no cost recovery or exclusion of persons based on financial affordability. But private goods are manufactured and sold by private companies or individuals for a profit motive.
g Assume that a hypothetical economy with an MPC of 0.8 is experiencing severe recession. Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. Enter your answers as positive numbers. In part b, enter your answers as whole numbers. a. By how much would government spending have to rise to shift the aggregate demand curve rightward by $25 billion
Answer: $5 billion
Explanation:
First find the spending multiplier which is a multiplier that shows how Aggregate demand increases as a result of additional spending.
Multiplier = 1 / (1 - Marginal propensity to consume)
= 1 / ( 1 - 0.8)
= 5
If the government wants to raise Aggregate demand by $25 billion, they should spend:
Increase in AD = Amount * Multiplier
25 billion = Amount * 5
Amount = 25 / 5
= $5 billion

Answer:
Total allocated costs= $53,070
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the allocation rates using the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Quality control= 77,000 / 1,100 = $70 per inspection
Machine operation= 153,000 / 1,500 = $102 per machine hour
Materials handling= 1,200 / 30 = $40 per batch
Miscellaneous overhead cost= 57,000 / 5,700= $10 per labor hour
Now, we can allocate overhead:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Quality control= 70*295= 20,650
Machine operation= 102*240= 24,480
Materials handling= 40*6= 240
Miscellaneous overhead cost= 10*770= 7,700
Total allocated costs= $53,070
Find the final amount in the following retirement account, in which the rate of return on the account and the regular contribution change over time. $322 per month invested at 4%, compounded monthly, for 5 years; then 440$ per month invested at 5%, compounded monthly, for 5 years.
Answer:
Total value of the investment= $57,320.73
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the future value of the first part of the investment. We will calculate the future value for the monthly deposit for five years and then the lump sum for another five years.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= monthly deposit
i= 0.04/12= 0.003333
n= 5*12= 60 months
FV= {322*[(1.003333^60) - 1]} / 0.003333
FV= $21,348.05
For the lump sum:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
n= 12*5= 60
i= 0.05/12= 0.004167
FV= 21,348.05*(1.004167^60)
FV= $27,397.75
Now, the future value of the second part of the investment:
n= 60
i= 0.0041667
A= 440
FV= {440*[(1.004167^60) - 1]} / 0.004167
FV= $29,922.98
Total value of the investment= 27,397.75 + 29,922.98
Total value of the investment= $57,320.73
Assume that Clampett, Incorporated, has $200,000 of sales, $150,000 of cost of goods sold, $60,000 of interest income, and $40,000 of dividends. Assume that Clampett, Incorporated, never operated as a C corporation and that the corporate tax rate is 21 percent. What is Clampett, Incorporated's excess net passive income tax
Answer:
$21,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine Clampett, Incorporated's excess net passive income tax
Using this formula
Excess net passive income tax = ( Interest income + Dividends ) × Tax rate
Let plug in the formula
Excess net passive income tax = ( $60,000 + $40,000 ) × 0.21
Excess net passive income tax = $21,000
Therefore Clampett, Incorporated's excess net passive income tax will be $21,000
Larry estimates that the costs of insurance, license, and depreciation to operate his car total $320 per month and that the gas, oil, and maintenance costs are 14 cents per mile. Larry also estimates that, on average, he drives his car 1,400 miles per month. Required: a. How much cost would Larry expect to incur during April if he drove the car 1,529 miles
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The question above is incomplete. The concluding part is
b. Would it be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month. Yes or No
Given the above information,
a. Total number of miles driven = 1.529 miles
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost × Number of miles driven
= $320 + $0.14 × 1,529
= $320 + $214.06
= $534.06
b. Since $320 per month is the fixed, the fixed cost per mile will decrease with the increase in number of miles driven . It means that if he drives less than 1,400 miles , the actual cost will be more than the cost based on predetermined overhead rate of the cost.
No. It would not be meaningful for Larry to calculate an estimated average cost per mile for a typical 1,400 mile month.

= ($60,000 + $40,000) + (($100,000 - $60,000) + $50,000 - $45,000
= $145,000
hence, the total fixed expense for the year is $145,000

Net operating income $9,300 10,080 $780 F
Flexing the variable revenue and costs:
Revenue $36,000/80 * 92 = $41,400
Food costs 7,200/80 * 92 = $8,280
Party supplies 3,200/80 * 92 = $3,680
Party worker wages 6,400/80 * 92 = $7,360
A portfolio manager plans to use a Treasury bond futures contract to hedge a bond portfolio over the next three months. The portfolio is worth $100 million and will have a duration of 5.6 years in three months. The futures price is 112, and each futures contract is on $100,000 of bonds. The bond that is expected to be cheapest to deliver will have a duration of 9.0 years at the maturity of the futures contract. What position in futures contracts is required
Answer: 556
Explanation:
The position in futures contracts that is required will be calculated thus:
= (100,000,000 × 5.6) / (112,000 × 9)
= 560,000,000 / 1,008,000
= 555.5
= 556 approximately
Therefore, based on the calculation, the answer is 556.

During lunch time, customers arrive at a postal office at a rate of lambda equals 36 per hour. The interarrival time of the arrival process can be approximated with an exponential distribution. Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of mu equals 45 per hour. The service time for the customers can also be approximated with an exponential distribution. For each of the following questions, show your work and use the right notation.
Required:
Determine the utilization factor.
Answer:
the utilization factor is 4 ÷ 5
Explanation:
The computation of the utilization factor is shown below:
given that
Customer arrives at the rate of λ equivalent to the 36 per hour
And, Customers can be served by the postal office at a rate of μ equivalent to the 45 per hour
λ = 36 / hour
μ = 45 / hour
Now utilization factor is
P = λ ÷ μ
= 36 ÷ 45
= 4 ÷ 5
Thus, the utilization factor is 4 ÷ 5

Miguel, a U.S. resident, buys an HDTV set for
$2,500 and sends it to Mexico as a gift to his parents.
Arielle, a French tourist, stays at a hotel in San
Francisco and pays $400 for it with her debit
card issued by a French bank.
A U.S. computer manufacturer purchases hard
drives from a Korean company, paying the funds
from its bank account in Korea.
Answer:
The Current account is for goods and services.
The Financial account is for exchange of currencies and financial assets across countries.
Miguel, a U.S. resident, buys an HDTV set for $2,500 and sends it to Mexico as a gift to his parents. DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT.
Miguel buys the good in the U.S. and then sends it so this falls under the current account alone.
Arielle, a French tourist, stays at a hotel in San Francisco and pays $400 for it with her debit card issued by a French bank. DEBIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT. CREDIT CURRENT ACCOUNT.
The Financial account should be debited to show that currency is coming into the U.S. from outside the country and current account should be credited for services rendered.
A U.S. computer manufacturer purchases hard drives from a Korean company, paying the funds from its bank account in Korea. DEBIT CURRENT ACCOUNT. CREDIT FINANCIAL ACCOUNT.
Current account should be debited to reflect that goods are coming into the country but the financial account should be credited to show that currency is leaving the ownership of an American entity so it is passing out of American hands.
Chris invests a total of $19,000 in two accounts. The first account earned a rate of return of 13% (after a year). However, the second account suffered a 2% loss in the same time period. At the end of one year, the total amount of money gained was $1,495.00. How much was invested into each account
Answer:
Amount invested in account with 13% return = $12499.97 rounded off to 12500
Amount invested in account with -2% return = 6500.03 rounded off to 6500
Explanation:
To calculate the amount invested in each account, we must first calculate the total return earned by Chris as a percentage of his investment.
Total Return/gain = 1495 / 19000 = 0.078684 or 7.8684%
To calculate the overall return, we must use the weighted average of returns provided by each account. The weighted average can be calculated as follows,
Average Overall Return = wA * rA + wB * rB
Where,
w represents the weight of investment in each account as a percentage of overall investmentr represents the return provided by each accountLet weight of investment in account that provided 13% return be x
Let weight of investment in account that provided -2% return be (1 - x)
0.078684 = x * 0.13 + (1-x) * -0.02
0.078684 = 0.13x - 0.02 + 0.02x
0.078684 + 0.02 = 0.15x
x = 0.098684 / 0.15
x = 0.65789333333 or 65.789333333%
Amount invested in account with 13% return = 19000 * 65.789333333%
Amount invested in account with 13% return = $12499.97 rounded off to 12500
Amount invested in account with -2% return = 19000 * (1 - 65.789333333%)
Amount invested in account with -2% return = 6500.03 rounded off to 6500
